the More Creek Summit, and without

rival OF the mail carrier, who hssteoed
Tor assistance. His feet and ankles
were SO badly frozen during those
melancholy days and nights Of in
mental and physical ago
ny, that almost immediate amputation
was necessary to save his life. It
would require columns to describe
his trials and struggles and sufferings.
When weak, cold and hungry, and
patiently waiting for death to come

band of fierce and hungry lynxes,
and these animals, that would ap-

eye him wistfuliy, were belted with
snow-balls by Mr.. Carroll to prevent
an attack. There are many other in
cidents of those days and nights of
terror that We might mention, which
have been published, and would not
be new to most Of the readers of the
WORLD. Mr.. Carroll has good SUBJ
stitute for the limbs he lost, and it is
for the benefit OF those similarly
afflicted that we will state where the
best artificial limbs manufactured
can be procured, and do so by re-
quest of Mr.. Carroll, who has ex-
amined artificial limbs of all manu-
facture, and does not hesitate to say
that those turned out by George r.

best. Tim gets around in winter, as
well as summer, with comparative
ease, and one who did not know oi
his misfortune, to see him walking
around, would not suspect that he had
lost his natural legs and was wearing
artificial ones. The machinery oil

same principle of the natural limbs
and are without doubt the best sub

PoS YAM, Chinese merchant of this
place, received three German carp,
each six or eight inches in length,
from Boise City last Wednesday.
They came in box, wrapped in clo-
yer, and after being out of their ele-
ment all day, were lively when
dropped into water. This amphib-
ious nature of the carp is something
new to everybody here. That they
lived all day out OF water may sound
like big fish story, but it's fact,
and dozen men who saw them un-
boxed will swear to it.

THE Squaw Creekers are enthusiastic for
the construction of a county bridge across
the Psyette at Marsh's & Ireton ranch
One reason, they claim, why the County
Commissioners should make an apprnpria
tion for this bridge, is the fact that they
have been good taxpayers, and derive but
little benefit In the way Of return of rev.
cnue for the construction of bridges and
roads, while all ether sections have been
favored by the county in this line. They
have one county bridge across Squaw
creek, costing $1,000. Six hundred of
this was subscribed by citizens of Squaw
creek. In the way Of road making they
have asked but little or no aid from the
county. Taking this view of the matter
their claim that the county ought to make
an appropriation for this bridge (Which
if male, will b. all til 1t tn y have asked
for aud received, excepting the small sun
of $S)o menti )ned ab ,vc) is good one
and the Commissioners will not over
look this point in considering the matter
The reason the Commissioners took NJ
action in the matter at their last session
was because the petition did not have thu
required number of names. A petition
for county bridge must be signed by one
fourth the voters of the county. We ar
informed that great many outside
Squaw creek will sign the petition. TIL
Souaw creekers will do we'll to send
good man or two to appear before th
Board at their next meeting to present tn
reasons why their petition should be fl
vorably acted upon.

young lady il in her seventeenth year,
and has written several poems that

E. S. Whittier, is a nephew of the
popular poet. John G. Whittier. The
latest production Of the young poet
ess is "The Mermaid's Dreams" which

gracefully worded poem, and "thing
of beauty" in the poetic line, and is
an evidence that nature has bestowed

A small Tnrafiar.

bennington Archive: A beautiful
little girl was noticed about the rail-
road station in this borough the other
day who was full Of life and ANNA
ton and whose efforts seemed to be
mischievously directed in hiding FROM
her father. who in reply TO a question
said the little girl had been his travel
ing companion ever since she was
nine months old and had never been
sick, although constantly exposed to
the many changes Incident TO a life
on the rail. He said he lived at Fort
Wayne, Indiana. and his business was
that Of a car-tracer. He travelled in
every direction in search of lost cars
and was liable TO be ordered off at
a moments notice. After search of
many days he had just found one of
the Fort Wayne cars on siding near
the Chester Valley Station. The little
girl was only three years and eight
months old. Her mother was power
less to control the child, and as soon a.
she heard her father had been ordered
off she picked up her little satchel to be
ready for the journey. They were
privileged to board any train. whether
limited, accommodation, local or freight.
and If they could not find quarters in
the cabin of the latter they rode on the
engine, where she slept as nicely as on
the softest bed of down.

Where violins are Made.

In Markneukirchen, with Its sur
rounding villages Klingenthal, Fleissen,
Rohrbach, and Graslitz. in Saxony, are
about $4,000 people who do nothing
else day after day but make violins.
The inhabitants, from the little urchin
to the old gray-headed man, the small
girl, and the old grandmother, all are
engaged in making some parts of a
fiddle. A good instrument consists of
sixty-two different pieces. The older
men make the finger Board fro ebony.
and the stringholder of the SCI 3. The
small boys make themselves useful by
looking after the glue-Pot. A man with
strong, steady hands and a clear eye
puts the different pieces together, and
this is the most difficult task of all
The women generally occupy them
selves MS polishers. This requires long
practice, and a family that has
daughter who is good polisher is con-
sidered fortunate. Even a young man.
when he goes a-wooing, inquiries whe:h-
er the young girl is good polisher, and,
if she is, it certainly viii increase his
affection for her at least twofold. The
polishing takes a good deal of time,
some of the best violins being twenty
and even thirty times polished. Every
family has its peculiar style of polish
ing. and they never vary from that.
There is one that makes nothing but a
deep wine color, another a citron color,
yet another an orange color, and so on.

Rich Newspaper Men.

All of the chief editors of the leading
daily papers of New York are men OF
vast wealth, writes John Swinton, and
yet nearly every one of them is a hard
worker in his business. The richest of
them all is, doubtless Mr. Bennett Of
the Herald, who is still spoken OF as
young Bennett. though he is hasten
ne toward the Doth year of his life,
most of which is spent in Europe. Tho
one who has the largest income at this
time is. doubtless, Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer
of TIE World, whose fOrtane is the re-
Sult Of four or five years Of enterprise
The wealth of Mr.. Dana Of the sun will
be increased this year by the revenues
Of his new evening issue. Mr.. Reid of
the Tribune has grown to be rich man
during the last 10 years from the in
como OF his paper and of his immense
building in which it is published Mr..
Jones, OF the Times, who was lieu
tenant in the chair as editor, is a
millionaire. Mr.. Ottendorfer, of the
Staatz Zeitung, ranks among the rich
est editors of the city. Mr.. Albert
Pulitzer, of the journal, has been
raised to fortune by bis paper within
very few years. MIR. Godkin, of the
Post, is rich man, and so is Mr.. God
win, of the Commercial Advertiser;
and so is Mr.. Stone, of the Journal of
Commerce; and so is Mr.. Field. of the
Mail, who delegates the duty of editor.
II is probable that Mr.. Dorsheimer, of
the Star, is the least wealthy among the
editors of important dailies in New
York, but if his paper should find the
pathway of success, only a brief period
of time will be needed to fill his Golfers.
One of these editors got his wealth
by inheritance, four of them got theirs
by marriage and the others ''made it
for themselves" The most elderly of
them are Goodwin, Jones, Stone, Often
dorfer and Field; the youngest of them
are the brothers Pulitzer; among the
gray boards are Dana, Reid, Bennett.
Dorsheimer and Godkin. Four of the
editors here spoken of are foreign born,
and the other eight are native Ameri-
cans. Mr.. Dorsheimer is the largest
Of them in size, and Mr.. Jones is the
smallest. All of them are men of
strong and striking faces, and several
of them are positively handsome. 1t
would doubtless raise jealousy in their
ranks to decide which is the best look
ing in the eye of an artist but any one
who knows them all will at once pick
out him who bears the closest resem-
blance to the Olympian Jupiter. The
only daily paper in town that has
passed from its founder to his son is
the Herald, and of the dozen here
named, 10 have been wrenched out of
the hands that held them at the close
of the war. All the chief daily editors
now on the stage here have heirs to
whom they expect to bequeath their
papers, regardless of such vicissitudes
as have overtaken their predecessors
of recent times.
